The UNC basketball program’s season is officially over, as they have decided to not accept a bid into the upcoming NIT tournament.

After not making the field for the upcoming NCAA Tournament, the UNC basketball program has decided that it is time to end its 2022-2023 season.

The Tar Heels will not accept a bid into the upcoming NIT, as an official statement from head coach Hubert Davis was released on social media.

Here’s what Davis had to say:

"“All season, our focus and goal have been on being the best team we can possibly become and reaching our full potential to give us another opportunity to compete, play for and win an NCAA championship.“Although we no longer have that opportunity and this season wasn’t what we had hoped for, I want to thank our players and staff for their hard work and love for Carolina Basketball.“Many factors go into postseason play, and we believe now is the time to focus on moving ahead, preparing for next season and the opportunity to again compete for ACC and NCAA championships.“I also want to thank our great fans for their incredible support. Our commitment to you is what drives us to improve our program in every way.”"

The UNC basketball program wraps up its season with a 20-13 record, and will now focus its attention on next season.
